Taurine - Tauri + Node.js stater - Electron alternative

Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazing fast binaries for all major desktop platforms. With Node.js which you are familiar it's great alternative for Electron.

Node.js is packed with your server code to single binary using pkg and then run using Tauri sidecar feature.

NOTE ⚠️ This starter isn't production ready and probably won't work on every platform. Also Tauri is not recommending using localhost protocol that is used here. For security reasons use tauri custom protocol.
